i remember when i first heard about that case i was like, "wait, you mean PI attorneys had a pre-negotiated rate but submitted the full rate as their medical billing? and the chiropractor's office signed a sworn statement confirming these are the proper rates?"

That's exactly what they did (and are still doing) - at least a few firms (come of the other larger plaintiffs' shops hate it just as much).

Frankly., future medicals has become the new cash cow since generals can only go so high.
